8. Before proceeding make sure that the four red shipping clamps on the
Z axis smooth rods have been removed.
9. Move the X axis carriage to the center of the smooth rods. If you
have not already done so, remove the foam from between the X axis
carriage and the left hand X axis end. Locate and remove, with the
included 2.5mm hex driver, the tool head M3 screw in top center of
the X axis carriage (Fig. 1.11, page 24). Place the extruder tool head
mount onto the X axis carriage bottom first. The extruder mount
will slide into the bottom portion of the carriage and self center (Fig.
1.12, page 25).Make sure that the tool head mount is fully seated. Use
the 2.5mm driver and the previously removed M3 screw to secure the
extruder tool head onto the X axis carriage.

10. Connect the stepper motor and the hot end to the existing wiring
harness located at the top of the X axis carriage. Connect the extruder
assemblies’ 4-pin connectors: match the orange/red wire connector
pair for the hot end and the mixed color wired connector pair for the
extruder motor (Fig. 1.13, page 25). Connect the matching pairs
together so they lock and click.
